Sidonie

Description

Sidonie is another addition to our collection of basic patterns. This simple A-line mini skirt is a quick project ideal for making your perfect little basic skirt that has been missing in your closet. Better yet, you can use it as a base for your own designs and develop it further. Of course we will share a couple of inspiring variations to this skirt in the upcoming weeks.

You can give the skirt a lower waistline by making a muslin or a paper skirt and drawing on a new waistline with tailors chalk or pencil (respectively). Then take off the paper skirt or muslin and neaten it up. Then add seam allowances.

You can make a waistline facing by tracing the tops of the pattern pieces about 5 inches down.

Then you can just make the skirt as your would normally. Oh, and remember to use a shorter zip or to shorten the one you have.
